论会稽士族与孙吴政权之关系

The Relationship Between the Kuaiji Gentries and the Sun Wu State

在孙策时期和孙权前期,会稽士人颇受重视,在政治上颇有地位,到了孙权后期以及三嗣主时期,会稽士人在政治中逐渐被边缘化,居高位者很少。孙吴时期会稽士族政治地位的衰微对会稽士族的发展产生了不少影响。一方面导致会稽士族由仕途官场而转向地方经营,成为地方豪强大族;另一方面导致会稽士族更加重视学术,使得一些会稽世族逐渐向学术世家转变,从而出现了一系列颇有名望的学术世家。

During the reign of Sun Ce and the early reign of Sun Quan,the gentries of the Kuaiji area were considerably respected and highly positioned in politics. But in Sun Quan's late years and under the reign of his three successors,the Kuaiji gentries were politically marginalized,with few of them being senior officials at the governmental level. The decline in their political status had a great impact on their further development. Some of them steered themselves away from officialdom into business,thus becoming local nabobs. Others devoted themselves to academic research,hence many renowned academic families came into existence.
